New survey has mostly good news about teens and privacy in social media

A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society has mostly good news about how teens approach privacy issues on social-networking services. While “teens are sharing more information about themselves on social media sites than they did in the past,” according to the study, “few teens embrace a fully public approach to social media,” but “take an array of steps to restrict and prune their profiles.”
